Pectinodontidae is a family of sea snails or true limpets, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Patellogastropoda, the true limpets.
This family was ranked as subfamily Pectinodontinae (also with Acmaeinae and Rhodopetalinae) in the family Acmeaidae in the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi (2005).
Nakano & Ozawa (2007) elevated Pectinodontinae to family level Pectinodontidae based on molecular phylogeny research.
